... that Rin Kurusu did not pursue voice acting earlier because she was already in an idol group? Source: ("高校生の頃から、「アイドルもやりたいし、声優もやりたい」と思っていて、ずっと憧れていた世界でした。 ただ、アイドルをしていたからこそ、ファンの方たちが「自分の推しに対してプライドを持っていること」を知っていたので、生半可な気持ちで足を踏み入れてはいけないという思いもあって、なかなか口には出せませんでした。"), ("でもアイドルは永遠にできるものではないし、いつか終わりが来てしまうことは分かっていたので、「声優にチャレンジしてみたい」という夢だけは絶やさないようにしていました。 そしてグループが解散したタイミングで、思い切ってチャレンジしてみたんです。")
ALT1: ... that Rin Kurusu was scouted by a talent agency during her trips to Harajuku in Tokyo? Source: ("初めは中学2年生の頃に今の事務所の方に声を掛けていただいたのですが、名刺に菜々緒さんやトリンドル玲奈さんとかすごい方たちの名前があって、びっくりして竹下通りを走って逃げました（笑）。 原宿にはよく遊びに行っていたのですが、毎回行くたびに同じ方に10枚くらい名刺をもらっていました。そのことをお父さんに話したら、「そんなに声を掛けてくれるなら、話だけでも聞きにいけば」と言ってくれて。芸能界に入りたいとは思っていなかったのですが、話を聞きに行ったらなんか面白そうだと思って「じゃあ入ります！」と決めました。")
Comment: Preference is for the original hook, ALT1 is a backup in case it is not considered interesting enough (although I personally find ALT1 borderline interesting at best). Other hook ideas and wordings welcome. Thanks to Finnfrog99 who suggested both wordings on Discord.
